New research highlights the impact of high-intensity resistance training on memory and brain function, showing a single session can enhance memory and alter hippocampal connectivity, crucial for memory formation.
New research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals both conscious rehearsal and unconscious reactivation enhance memory. But unconscious cues, unlike conscious ones, enrich memory context without harming related memories.
A study found that 24-month-olds remember screen-based information better than 15-month-olds, especially if they nap within 4 hours of learning. Longer naps further improved recall. This highlights sleep's role in enhancing memory consolidation in infants, offering insights for integrating screen...
A meta-analysis revealed that creatine supplements enhance memory, particularly in older adults aged 66-76. Benefits are consistent across different genders, intervention durations, and geographical origins.
A study in Memory & Cognition finds reading aloud boosts memory recall but not deeper comprehension of material. Despite vocalization's clear benefit for remembering details, it doesn't enhance understanding beyond memorization, challenging the effectiveness of this strategy for comprehensive learning.
Through a novel verbal associative task, researchers demonstrated how sleep strengthens weak connections and forms new associations between event elements, enhancing our ability to recall interconnected details from minimal cues. This process, linked to sleep spindles, underscores sleep's vital function...
